STUTTGART

The Lord called Mother Mary Ellen Reeves Ward home on Feb. 25, 2013. Mother Mary Ellen Reeves Ward was born on Nov. 12, 1926, in Crockett’s Bluff. She is the daughter of the late Charlie and Arrie Reeves. She is preceded in death by her parents; grandparents, Jim and Lousa Reeves; her husband, Perry Ward Jr.; three sisters, Annie Lee Shed (Les), Emitter Reeves and Aberlea Reeves; five brothers, Andrew, Charles (Alberta), R.C., Freddie and Elvin Reeves; aunt Minnie Reeves Hill; nine uncles, Jimmy, Robert, Walter, Wallace, Mark, Isom, Albert, Joseph and George Reeves; and two special cousins, Lillie Jane Jenkins and George Harris.

At an early age she began her walk with Christ at Poplar Creek Missionary Baptist Church. Then she moved to Stuttgart and worshiped with Holy Benton Temple C.O.G.I.C. under the leadership of the late Elder C.L. Benton. Later she became a member of Outreach Faith and Deliverance Ministry under the leadership of Pastor Perry Ward III. She remained a faithful member as a church mother and a licensed missionary until the Lord called her home.
